Jewish Humor Central is a blog to start your day with news of the Jewish world that's likely to produce a knowing smile and some Yiddishe nachas. It's also a collection of sources of Jewish humor--anything that brings a grin, chuckle, laugh, guffaw, or just a warm feeling to readers.
Our posts include jokes, satire, books, music, films, videos, food, Unbelievable But True, and In the News. Some are new, and some are classics. We post every morning, Sunday through Friday. Enjoy!

HaHafuch, the comedy improv troupe based in Jerusalem, is at it again. We've already posted a few of their funny skits, including Jerusalem's Next Top Model, Real Housewives of Jerusalem, and Man on the Street: What Israelis Really Know About the US and Canada.Now, as they're preparing for their next comedy show in Jerusalem on March 27, they released a new skit poking fun at Top Chef, the American reality cooking competition show. Never missing an opportunity to lighten up the sometimes serious rivalries between the many kashrut certifying authorities in Israel, this skit focuses on the challenges of preparing a kosher meal that would be acceptable to the many groups of kashrut-observing Jews in Israel.Enjoy!(And, if you're going to be in Jerusalem on March 27, join us at the show as Jewish Humor Central captures the skits on video to share with you!)(A SPECIAL NOTE FOR NEW EMAIL SUBSCRIBERS:
